Hey! I had the same situation recently, I had no idea what to buy and what would be better for my paticular house but I concacted with ***Link Removed*** and they helped me. They can also install AC in your house

2018 Prime Time Lacrosse 3211RK does have a 50 amp...

Looking to add a second Air Conditioner. The TT I am buying has one 15k btu and I live in Florida. It was suggested that I add another roof top. Any suggestions to which one I should buy? Thanks for your advice in advance...

DutchmenSport brought up a good point - does the camper you plan on buying have 50 amp service? If not, your plan is in trouble.

Love it... The Atwood looks like the ine to go with.... you all rock!

Absolutely love our new AtWood AirCommand (no heat) AC. It is amazing how queit yet forceful the air comes out. Can feel a cold breeze 20' away and carry on a conversation with it on High.

We had a Atwood Air Command 13,5K non-ducted installed in our 35ft. motorhome two years. We spend a lot of time in the desert. The air conditioner is awesome, it's cold and quiet.

Was thinking about going with this Atwood 15027 Ducted/ac unit. I am reading great reviews for a 15k btu that is equivalate to a 18k btu unit.

We replaced our old Dometic unit a few years ago with that Atwood 15 btu unit with heat pump. We absolutely love it! It puts out a lot more air than the old unit and is a bit quieter - both inside and outside the trailer!

The other thing I like about it is that it has two fans instead of one fan doing double duty. It was an easy conversion. We purchased it online. Keep in mind that you will also need to purchase the ceiling assembly separately.

Yes they said I could add a second one. The sales pitch was that we should add another one and we have one for 1k and 500 to install. I don't know what unit they have but after I did some research I found them to be cheaper in else ware. This is my first TT I am buying so I wanna try and make the best decisions up front as possible....

Thanks All for the sound advice!!!

Make sure you can actually add it first. We wanted to add a second one to our previous travel trailer and was more than willing for our dealer service shop to do the work. When consulting with them, they said they wouldn't do it.

First, the vent over the bedroom was not wired. I suggested just putting in the air conditioner and run a separate wire so I could plug it into a normal 15-20 amp outlet. I'd run an extension directly to the campground electric hook up. They wouldn't do it.

Second, I asked them about adding the wiring inside the camper, and they reminded me the camper was a 30 amp system and the entire camper would have to be rewired for 50 amp. We're talking big money there. I didn't want to do that.

We ended up switching the 13,500 btu for a 15,000 and stayed with just one air conditioner and it actually worked pretty good for a 35 foot TT. But... we camp in Florida in the month of December too! In the Northern states, it's very seldom THAT hot.

It turned out the single 15,000 BTU was the best solution for us in the long-run.

So, just an FYI... make sure, before you go out and get all the hardware and spend a bundle on a second air conditioner, it's actually do-able on your camper.

Of course, if you do the work yourself, everything is possible! Dealerships and service centers have to follow rules and legal guidelines and also have legal obligations and can face law suits if something went wrong down the road. So, in order to avoid things like that, I think it's just easier for them to say, "No, it can't be done."

Edit:
I still have that 13,500 btu air conditioner sitting in my utility shed at home. I'm still trying to give it away to anyone who wants it ... been making this offer for 5 years now. Hope the mice haven't chewed up all the wires now.
